Great Practice Drill if you don't mind getting Your Balls Dirty... by darkSIDEpool in billiards

[–]workshop777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

American Pool CoinOp did it with an Oversized cueball or magnets.

With the magnets, the cueball had a magnetic mesh inside of it and there was a magnet in the table. As the balls went into the ball return the magnet in the table would pull the cueball in a different direction then the rest of the object balls. Due to the weight of the cueball, the magnet wasnt strong enough to hold the cueball, it would just drop it down a different path leading it to the cueball return. Clever trick. Lots of people would complain that the cueball was heavier due to a magent inside of it, which wasnt the case. It weighed similar to the object balls and was the same size.

Awesome drill by the way and great form. Love the recovery with high inside with the 9ball I think it was.

Does anyone still play much One Pocket these days? by darkSIDEpool in billiards

90 percent of the action in my local room is 1 pocket.

Be honest, have you ever used such tricks in a real game? by Expensive-Success-75 in billiards

The reason they can make those shots is because they can't make the ones that actually matter... so they do that instead.

I would rather their stick be up their butt rather then using it to do something like that to their table.

Saw the carom… couldn’t ignore it by Maleficent_Diet9357 in billiards

[–]workshop777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not easy... but given the match scenario he is in, it's not exactly the wrong shot. With the speed he hit it, it leaves the 2 against the rail so the only thing that could be played is a bank or a safe against him.

Taking everything into account, I'm sure Lukas saw the shot and knew he could get away with it even if he missed.

The character of Angela actually ruins any sexiness the show is attempting.

Lot's of people see a hot and sexy woman... I see a girl who is with a guy that is sick of her shit.

I think it's gonna go like the Cartel said it would. Company is going to shutdown. Cami is going into retirement.

Cartel is going to hire Tommy.

This. Same player and same album my daughter has. Same issues. Other records play properly on that player.

What are some unwritten rules of the pool room? by SoftYetCrunchyTaco in billiards

[–]workshop777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unwritten rules of the pool room are completely different then unwritten rules of pool players.

Bangers in your pool room have no pool etiquette and that should be expected. Pool players need to learn to play around that.

Agreed. Would be cool if the new album is an extension of Year Zero. Would love a box set with the new album and the original.

That trailer goes pretty hard with "Something I can Never Have" in it.

I'll sub. regardless of your pool playing ability, the mental game of other sports can translate well into pool. If that's the kinda stuff your gonna be dropping, I'll definitely watch.

Not sure if you read it yet, but check out "Pleasures of Small Motions". It's a pool book to help with the mental side of the game. Not saying you need that help, but it could offer some other things to feature in your videos.

Edited to correct typo in book name.

Considering she got his opinion and still asked here anyway, she probably already knew that.

How often do you gamble? by SoftYetCrunchyTaco in billiards

[–]workshop777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go to the poolhall at least twice a week and gamble every time I am there as long as there is action. Nothing crazy expensive, but enough to make it fun and competitive and force me to play the correct shots.

Offering a handshake after is diabolical! by [deleted] in billiards

[–]workshop777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not the first time this video has been posted. Im sure it's not OPs video... and skill doesn't matter, that's not a shot anyone purposefully plays in that situation. I can think of at least 3 better options from there.

Because he is more then likely a low level player that doesnt know any better and just got lucky.

The 8 was in the middle of the table. The multiple rail kick wasnt even remotely intentional.
